Chaim, you clearly lack the mental capability to understand what is being said to you. Read my post again I have explained to you exactly what bowlers do. Nobody has said anything about Benching more than your own body weight, it's a case of low weight lots of reps as I have previously explained, that builds your muscular endurance which is vital in any sport in which you will be excerting a lot of muscular force over a long period of time. I know a number of professional/international players all of which do gym work, several of them bowlers. I have seen many a cricketer in the gym, your living in the past bring yourself up to the date, state of the art gym equipment is there to improve players not make them worse. For example Bond, Shane Bond. Without a gym he would never have bowled a ball again, he worked his (No Swearing Please) off for months and what a surprise in his fitness regime he had an hour of weights, combined with cardio sessions and boxing training, and got himself back playing international cricket, when he could have been finished.
